The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 679 The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn’t stop

Perhaps he was worried that living in Rongguo Mansion forever would inevitably expose his true identity, so when accepting the marriage proposal, Fu Shi proposed to move out of Rongguo Mansion with his sister to wait for marriage.

Because the Fu family had no mansion in the capital and it was not convenient for them to live in the Xue family's old house, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai felt that staying in an inn was inappropriate, which inevitably brought trouble to Zhang Yunyi.

Zhang Yunyi also had a responsibility, so he gave his old house to Fu Qiufang to wait for her to get married.

Knowing that he was busy, Fu Qiufang's doubts were dispelled, so there was no need for him to show up to complete the remaining formalities.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Fu Qiufang moved into the Zhang family's old house. Zhang Yunyi had considered getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later, so as to help Xue Pan get the house first.

But on second thought, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Xue family in name.

In addition, on the day of the marriage proposal, Fu Shi acted like a brother relying on his sister's status, and Zhang Yun逸 did not want to encourage him in this way.

In addition, Xue Pan suggested that he go to the bridal chamber on the wedding day. This unique plot made him very excited.

Good food is never too late, so there is no need to rush.

The Xue and Fu families were busy preparing for the wedding, and Fu Qiufang was also very happy and looked forward to getting married as soon as possible.

But human emotions are not the same. Xia Jingui, who also missed Zhang Yun逸, was very upset.

That day, after listening to Baochan's report, she suddenly stood up from the bed and exclaimed, "What did you say?"

"I...I also heard from the gatekeeper that Master Bao is back."

"How soon will it be?" Xia Jingui frowned, looking puzzled, "Why didn't the Madam reveal any news?"

"I don't know about this servant."

"No good news comes out of asking, but bad news comes out of asking..."

Xia Jingui couldn't help but complain, then said angrily: "Let's go and find out! Let's go..."

As soon as she said the word "go", her steps and the sound stopped at the same time.

Baochan looked at her and asked doubtfully, "Miss...?"

Xia Jingui then retracted her legs and sat back on the edge of the bed, narrowing her eyes and muttering, "I can't go! If I go, won't I tell my wife that I know he's back?"

At this point, she clenched her right fist, clapped her left palm on top of her fist, and said, "Yes! I think it's probably because my wife has bad intentions. She can't get over her son, so she deliberately revealed it to us, waiting for us to make a fuss so that she can use this as an excuse to make me move back and consummate the marriage with her precious son...

We might as well cooperate with him. Tell the outside world that I am not feeling well and need to rest for a while. I will close the door and refuse to see anyone! Then find an opportunity to tell the Duke that even if I die, I will still be with the Duke."

"Hmm!~Hmm!" Baochan agreed quickly, but then said with some doubt, "Then...then if the Madam sends a doctor..."

"What are you afraid of?" Xia Jingui said confidently, "As long as I insist that I have a headache, which doctor can guarantee that I'm fine?"

Xia Jingui's guess was not wrong. The news was indeed revealed to her deliberately.

However, it was not arranged by Mrs. Wang, but by Lai Da at the instruction of Zhang Yun逸.

Good things are about to happen. Preparations have been laid out at the court and in the government offices. All that remains is to proceed step by step.

Zhang Yunyi, who had some free time, couldn't help but think about what was ahead and started to think about Xia Jingui again.

But he didn't know that Xia Jingui had already had the intention of cheating on his wife. Instead, he heard that Xia Jingui often went to Mrs. Wang to make trouble.

I think that although Jia Baoyu's filial piety is commendable, Xia Jingui still needs to work harder.

At the very least, they should break up their relationship to avoid any trouble.
Little did they know that this move would actually be superfluous.

While Zhang Yun逸 was not yet feeling complacent with his arrangements, Xia Jingui was really regretting that she had added unnecessary details.

After sending Baochan away, Xia Jingui leaned against the head of the bed, feeling full of regret.

If she hadn't been so reserved before, trying to whet Zhang Yunyi's appetite, I'm afraid she would have accomplished something with him by now.

……

Or maybe they are a couple?
Xia Jingui was filled with regret, and so was Jia Baoyu in Qixianzhai.

Seeing Jiang Yuhan coming to visit, he said with a look of annoyance: "It's all my fault. I didn't consider that my wife was here. I shouldn't have said it in front of her. I should have made it clear to my godfather earlier!"

It's not that he was hesitant, but he had no choice but to think of using Xia Jingui to please Zhang Yun逸.

However, he was scolded by Zhang Yun逸 at the Quyuan Zatan Forum and was so scared that he forgot what he wanted to say.

Jiang Yuhan's face changed, and he asked quickly, "Why? Could it be that the Duke would not agree to this? Didn't you say it was a sure thing?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I didn't say anything definite, probably because my wife was present."

At this point, he changed the subject: "For now, godfather is secondary. Give me some time. He didn't say anything final that night. He even praised me for my filial piety. I think there won't be a big problem. The key is Prince Beijing. We can't let him misunderstand that we are avoiding him again."

"What should I do?"

"I can't go out now, so I can only trouble you to tip off."

"Me?" Jiang Yuhan waved her hands repeatedly, evading the question, "The Duke has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to sing in private without the permission of the performing arts association. If the Duke knew about this..."

"My godfather is still angry, so why would I knowingly commit a crime at this time?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Quyuan Zatan is open for business. We can't just turn away people without making money. Now that you're back, you have nothing to do. Just say you're itching to show your skills and ask Xing Zhong to arrange two performances for you. You don't have to worry about King Beijing not coming to show support.

When the time comes, you can go to the prince's box under the pretext of thanking him and ask him to be patient and give me some more time..."

"That's a good idea!"

Jiang Yuhan nodded, then hesitated and said, "But, if the Duke sees us by chance..."

"Yes! You did remind me!" Jia Baoyu groaned for a moment, "On the 19th of the twelfth lunar month, Brother Xue will be getting married, and godfather will definitely be busy. You only need to show up on the stage during the curtain call on the 18th night, and then tell him that you have other plans for the 19th. Not only will godfather not see you, but it will also be enough for King Beijing to get wind of it."

I have to say, nothing is difficult in this world as long as you put your heart into it.

Jia Baoyu was quite clever and he actually figured out a way to deceive his superiors and subordinates and get away with it.

The two of them pondered for a while, and Jiang Yuhan suggested again: "Why don't you write another letter and I'll pass it on to Prince Beijing, so that it will be easier for the prince to explain!"

"Yeah!"

Jia Baoyu hurriedly brought writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. He was not as shameless as Jia Huan, but he knew that family disgrace should not be made public. Although he was not careful in front of Jiang Yuhan, he did not treat him as an outsider. However, Prince Beijing did not want to talk too much with a young man, so he chose his words carefully for a long time.

He only spoke vaguely, saying that Zhang Yun逸 was angry and asked Prince Beijing to calm down.
